Now let's see what we can find out about your system
(logfiles of failing tests are available in the conf/ dir)...
ERROR: cannot run the configured compiler '/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc'
(see conf/compilerok.log). Suggestions:
1) The complier '/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc' is not in your PATH. Add it
to the PATH and try again. OR
2) The compiler isn't installed on your system. Install it. OR
3) You only have a different compiler installed (e.g. 'gcc').
Either fix the compiler config in the perl Config.pm
or install a perl that was built with the right compiler
(you could build perl yourself with the available compiler).
Note: this is a system-administration issue, please ask your local
admin for help. Thank you.

You have to follow the third suggestion (fixing perl's Config.pm). This is dangerous, but there's a CPAN module which allows you to do Config.pm changes on the fly: ExtUtils::FakeConfig. Just follow the instructions in the documentation.
Here's another article about editing Config.pm on perlmonks: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=570684

Investigating an issue with multiple Perl installations on our (HP UX IA64 system), I came across an executable called perl-dynamic. What is this and what exactly does it do?
More importantly, how do I know which perl executable it actually points to (we have multiple versions mixing version numbers and architectures installed).
bash-4.4$ ll /usr/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Jan 8 16:34 /usr/bin/perl -> /opt/perl/bin/perl
bash-4.4$ ll /opt/perl/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 14 Jan 8 16:45 /opt/perl/bin/perl -> ./perl-dynamic
Is this a magical perl binary which decides which version and architecture to use?
$ perl -V
Will show you the details.
Both perl-static and perl-dynamic are built with the same configuration (at least for what I can see on my HP-UX 11.31) and both are built with -Dusedl
perl-static is linked with libperl.a (or linked with all .o files), whereas perl-dynamic is linked using libperl.so. You can check the differences with ldd perl-static and ldd perl-dynamic.
There is no functional difference

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to setup Bugzilla to send email using TLS. I got the Bugzilla site running, however, when I try to change my Bugzilla account email, the system fails with the following (I setup my email parameters to use my Amazon AWS email server):
An unexpected error occurred. This could be a temporary problem, or some code is behaving incorrectly. If this problem persists, please email this page to ...#.....com with details of what you were doing at the time this message appeared.

So I proceeded to try to fix this problem by following the instructions in: Bugzilla Alerts Using Gmail
I managed to install the Email::Send::SMTP::TLS module using cpanm (Not sure why I just cannot install any module via CPAN at all), after installation, the SMTP::TLS option does not appear in the drop-down. I just ignored it and continue to update Mailer.pm as instructed.
After that, when I refresh my bugzilla page, I get the following error:

I've read that perhaps it is because Email::Send::SMTP::TLS requires Net::SSLeay package. So I proceed to try to install it using cpanm. However, cpanm fails with the following log:

I do not know perl and cannot figure out why I'm getting errors left and right.
I read in many places that I can simply install all available packages using command like:
/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl --all
However, this command does not work for me. (I can't install any modules using CPAN at all, not sure why) It pretty much just does nothing for me. This is the output I get when execute install-module.pl:

I'm not sure why things just don't work for me. Do I have a faulty perl installation or what? Can some perl guru please help?
Thanks!
Solved the issue by killing my Bugzilla installation (5.0.1) and completely re-install an older version (4.4.10). Things just worked with the previous version.
I fought with the same problem, with Bugzilla 5, for half a day. I did not have any success getting STARTTLS to work, which is odd, because it's the standard way to send email these days. I finally gave up and activated SMTPS (port 465) on my Postfix server. It was very easy to do this, and once I did it, Bugzilla could send emails easily. If you have control over the mail server, this is an easier approach because life is too short to spend it reading through perl code. Edit: all these years later, STARTTLS still doesn't work on Bugzilla. I tried installing libnet-smtp-tls-butmaintained-perl which some suggested, but that didn't help. For those finding this post, give up and use smtps.
It seems I have a configuration problem when installing Perl modules through CPAN and I don't know how to correct it:

Does anyone know how I can fix the mechanism without having to resort to a manual install ?
Edit:
I ran into this problem again. All I needed to do was free some memory like Keith Broughton suggested.
I ran into the same problem and tried to find the root cause for this problem. I'm listing my findings here so other Googlers don't have to spend a couple of hours before giving up...
What solved it for me was simply rebooting the system.
Things I tried:
Upgrading CPAN. This would also fail with the "Couldn't untar" error message. I doesn't matter if you try it using the cpan shell, "cpan -i CPAN" or "perl -MCPAN -e 'install CPAN'". I didn't think any of these would solve the problem, but when you start googling all these are suggested as possible solutions.
Replacing tar with a script that logs its input to check if one of the parameters or cwd is incorrect when it is called. The script is never called it seems. The "Couldn't untar" message is still the same, even after temporarily renaming /bin/tar.
Checking CPAN/Tarzip.pm and adding print lines near the code that writes the "Couldn't untar" message. It seems that the system() call fails and tar (or ls in my debug code) is never called.
Then I decided to reboot, which was an option because this is not a live system. After that the problem was gone and Perl modules installed on first try.
Other observations:
The system seems to work just fine for the rest. You can still connect to the system, you can edit files, modifications are still there after the reboot. I would expect any of these to fail long before a Perl system() call starts to fail.
A quick scan through the logfiles doesn't show any red flags.
Sometimes this can happen simply due to a lack of available memory. Try turning off some services that are running and try again.
Worked for me :-)
To resolve the following error:
Couldn't untar WWW-Mechanize-1.72.tar
Try install Archive::Tar
On centos 6.X:
yum install perl-Archive-Tar.x86_64
Found the same issue on DigitalOcean droplet with 512MB RAM running Ubuntu (with about 200MB free).
I was able to solve it by rebooting the machine, I tried updating my CPAN using 'install Bundle::CPAN'. It worked for the first few modules, and then the 'Couldn't untar' message appeared again.
Rebooting allowed me to progress in the installation. These repeated reboots are of course a less than optimal solution.
Given that the system has free memory, and the issue re-appears after using the machine for a little while, it seems to be this could be related to an issue with shared libraries.
Shot in the blue: partition is full. Delete some files.

The clue was in this line of your quoted output:
Can't locate DBI/DBD.pm in #INC...
You'll be seeing this type of error a lot as you develop in Perl! It means that you are missing a module dependency, generally because the module hasn't been installed from CPAN.
Therefore, you need to install DBI::DBD first before DBD::mysql. There are some complicated reasons why this isn't installed automatically by cpan as a prerequisite (usually when installing a module or distribution, it will automatically install all its dependencies):
PREREQ_PM tells MakeMaker that DBI (version 1.03 in this case) is required for this module. This will issue a warning that DBI 1.03 is missing if someone attempts to install your DBD without DBI 1.03. See CONFIGURE below for why this does not work reliably in stopping cpan testers failing your module if DBI is not installed.
CONFIGURE is a subroutine called by MakeMaker during WriteMakefile. By putting the require DBI::DBD in this section we can attempt to load DBI::DBD but if it is missing we exit with success. As we exit successfully without creating a Makefile when DBI::DBD is missing cpan testers will not report a failure. This may seem at odds with PREREQ_PM but PREREQ_PM does not cause WriteMakefile to fail (unless you also specify PREREQ_FATAL which is strongly discouraged by MakeMaker) so WriteMakefile would continue to call dbd_dbi_arch_dir and fail.
You can install both modules at once with:
sudo -H cpan DBI::DBD DBD::mysql
I spent a most of an evening googleing and trying the various directions to get DBD::mysql to work with my existing osx perl installation. I was making no progress and finally tried installing active perl. It comes with a perl package manager (ppm). From there, you can install a pure perl mysql driver (DBD::mysqlPP) and this bypasses all the compilation headaches. - Just be sure to change your code to use DBD::mysqlPP rather than DBD::mysql - in my case, I changed
this:
my $dsn = 'DBI:mysql:schemaName:localhost';
to this:
my $dsn = 'DBI:mysqlPP:schemaName:localhost';
Try installing DBI.pm first.
